So, along with the million other reasons to spay your cat, a female cat being super annoying while in heat should also go down on the list. 😹
I am realizing that I've never actually been around a cat in heat before so it took me awhile to recognize what was going on with Fiona when she started being super affectionate and much more vocal.
I honestly just thought she was feeling better as she got over her upper respiratory infection and now being indoors with plenty of food and shelter.
Girl, no!
I had to google it! And yep, Fiona was ticking all the boxes except for spraying (thank god!) and loss of appetite (girl loves to eat!).
She desperately wants to escape the spare bedroom that's been turned into catlandia. She digs at the carpet (bad kitty!) and I now have a broom to literally shoo her away from the door when I go in so she doesn't try to sneak by me.
She did make it past me once and it was dash across the house by my husband and me to catch her and put her back in the room.
I'd been worried about Samwise being cryptorchid but given that he's not been interested in her (thank god!) it's helping confirm that he's neutered.
I don't have as many posts yet about Fiona as she's on the mend and we're working on her issues. She's got corneal scarring on her eyes from an untreated FHV infection and she walks with her head cocked to the right which is from an inner ear infection. Honestly, none of this gets her down! She loves to play and run around and unless you closely looked at her eyes, you'd be none the wiser that she's special needs.
Initially, she didn't seem to like men and would only let me interact with her but she's since let my husband and son play with her and pet her. She doesn't like to be picked up and held so she's not a love bug like Blaze but she's otherwise sweet and lovely. She enjoys the other kitties, too, even before she got all crazy in heat!
